AFGHANS AGAIN

JUST FOR THE SAKE OF FIGHT-
ING, THEIR FAVORITE SPORT.
Afghanistan, a Despotic Monarchy, Is
. Well Supplied With Weapons of
Most Modern Type.
.About three thues In a century the
Arghans "bust loose," and the British
'have real trouble on their hands.
Just why they shoiild have chosen.
this time to declare aTholy war" no-
body seems to know, They do not ap-
pear to have any particular grievance,
but lighting is their favorite outdoor
sport; the new Arnett'', Antan-thlah
Khan, nurses a grouch against the Bri-
tish and the fanatical mullahs have
been busy stirring up the people.
Hitherto,. In Afghan' wars, the Bri-
tish have been oppoged by an enemy
Inadequately equipped with modern
weapons. To -day. It is different. Dur-
ing the last few years ureto-date
munition factories have been estab-
lished at Kabul, and the Afghans havo
learned how to manufacture fIrstOlass
rifles, as well as rifled cannon, cart-
ridges, shells, agunpowtler, etc. Also
they have Hotchkiss and Maxim guns,
as well as light Machine guns.
Railroad Building Forbidden by Govt.
Afghanistan is a star of valleys
radiating from the peaks of Koh -i -Ba-
ba, and the whole country la ruggedly
meuntainous. Military operations are
rendered additionally difficult by the
circumstance that there are no rail-
roads. Blending of the latter has been
forbidden by the Afghan Government
lest they facilitate invasion.
As a precautionary measure, the Bri-
tish have built a railroad up the valley
of the Kabul 'river and at Chan -tate the
terminus, close by the Afghan border,
they long ago stored great quantities
of rails and other material, the idea
. being in case of hostilities. to extend'
the line as rapidly as possible to Ka-
bul.
The' British want no trouble with
the Afghans; all they desire is peace.
To keep them quiet they have for
teeny years Meld the Ameer an aumml
subsidy of *600,000. But those war-
like -people, though invariably whip-
ped, are not content to stay so' They
hate white folks and, being earnestly
pious. Mohammedans, they feel that if
they meld murder the .last Christian

Claim - Descent From the Lost Tribes.
Tho Afghans claim descent front the
Lost Tribes of Israel, and trace their
lineage through Solomon and David
back to Moses and Abraham. In truth
many of them have Jewish features
and ancient Jewish names. The men
are heartiest, fierce looking and com-
monly clad in bloomers and loose
shirts of white cotton, with turban or
skull cap: The women wear trousers,
and some of them are costainedlike

Afghanistan is the only independent

potic monarchy. One of its We prin-

FEW CANADIANS
WEAR MONS STAR
ISSUE FOR SERVICE PRIOR TO
MIDNIGHT, NOV. 22-23, 1914,
Original No. 2 Can. Stat. Hospital Said
to Be Only Canadians Entitled -
1914 -15 Star For Others.
Don't for a moment run away with
the idea that every ribbon shaded red,
white and blue worn by veterans ot
the Wale, represents the Mons Star
for 1914 service et the front. There
is very little difference in the ribbon
of a Mons Star and the ribbon of a
1914-15 Star, just a reversal of the
colorings, but there is considerable
difference in what they stand for.
There has been an erroneous im-
pression abroad that the P.P.C.L.I.
were' entitled to wear the "Mons"
Star Such is not the case. The ex-
piration for the eligible period entit-
led a soldier to wear this ribbon is
midnight, Nov. 22-23, 1914. The form -
431' regiment did not arrive in Franco
until the closing days of December, the
same year. They were, however, the
first combatant unit of the Canadian
force to cross the Channel, and saw
considerable service before the com-
ing of the lst Division, In' February,
1915.
This decoratiod is awarded by the
Imperial militia, while the 1914-15 Star
is a Canadian issue.
Very Few Are Entitled. •
Original members of No. 2 Cana-,
than Stationary Hospital, on the
strength of the establishment and at
theism', who left with that unit for
France in November, 1914, are said to
be the only Canadians in the C,E.F.
who are entitled to wear the "1914"
Star, familiarly known as the "Mons"
Star.
This unit landed in France am Nov
3, 1914, under command of Lieut. -Col.
(Dr.) A. T. Shillington, of Ottawa, a
well-known medical man in Dominion
Professional circles Serving with the
hospital were two Toronto doctors,
Lieut. -Col. Reginald Pentecost and
Lleut-Col. las. 11, Wood, both then
captains.
Tho subsequent Army Council Order
No. XX., published in December. 1918,
authorizes the wearing of what is'
known'Os the "1914-15" Star. 133 this
Order the period was extended to Dec.
31, 1915. The star to be struck is
identical in".design with the original
"1914 Mons" Star, except that it bears
the dual date.. Both the 1st and 2nd
Canadian Divisions are entitled to
wear the "1914.1915" Star, The orig-
inal Star (1914 only) 15 applicable
alone to service in France. The 1914-
15 Star' Is given for service in any
theatre of war, including Salonika
Mesopotamia and the Far BastBoth
include all ranks on the strength of

as well as voluntary aid detachment%
voluntary Red Cross ambulance
drivers, or cielliaka serving with the
army in any capacity and under the
direCtion of the War Office, while en•
gaged upon war duties.
The original strength of No. 2 Cana-
dian Stationary Hospital was 746 all
ranks, including nine officers, 85 nurse
Ing 'sisters attached, and 102 other
ranks. Four of the original nursing
sisters of the unit went down on the
hospital ship Llandovery Castle, when
torpedoed on aline 27, 1918. They
were Miss Margaret Fraser (acting
matron), daughter of the late ',taut -
Governor Fraser, of Nova Scotia;
Was Rena McLean, daughter of Sena-

THE STORY OF ROBIN ADAIR,
A Dublin Wine Merchant of Scottish
Ancestry,
Is the famous old song, "Robin
Adair," which we have sung from
childhood, Scotch or Irish? Scottish,
undoubtedly, will be the general reply.
Yet authentic history seems to point
otherwise.
Hanging in the great hallway of the
present mansion of Sir Robert Hod-
-son, at Hollybrook, Kilbride Co.,- Wiela
low, where Robin lived, played, and
sang verses, is his harp, while, attach-
ed to a small building nearby, is a
brass plate bearing the inscription:
Here Robin sat and sang, and quaffed
' the bowl,
Degenerate days! how fallen the
uncient line!
Hoa' science bids• ascending waters
roll,o
Andfountains gush, where once
flowed genial wine.
Robin, according to the latest re-
searches, was a successful wine mer-
chant in Dublin, with, however, Scot-
tish ancestral connections. Hence the
confusion. He it was who built Holly -
brook, whore he entertained lavishly,
the original song of "Robin Adair,"
which goes hack to the year 1730, be-
ing written to commemorate a visit he
paid to some sporting friends at Pucks -
town, near Artane Co., Dithlin, corn-
mer
„iymoinuwelcome to Puce:stoma
Robin Adair."
Robin, in spite of his convival
habits, lived to a green old age, and
ultimately died in Dublin in 1737. In
addition to his harp, two of his wine
gladses, which held a quart of. wine
each, are still preserved.
